Cube houses

Kubuswoning, or cube houses, are a set of innovative houses built
designed by architect Piet Blom in 1984,
and built on Overblaak Street in Rotterdam
in The Netherlands. Blom tilted the cube
of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped
pylon. There are
32 cubes altogether, all attached to each other.

Moreover, this set of buildings looks like impossible figure from bird's-eye
view as it seen in Google Earth. Special covered roofs of cubes looks like
snow-covered mountain peaks.

Piet Blom (Feb 8, 1934, Amsterdam
– Jun 8, 1999, Denmark) was
a Dutch architect best known for his 'Kubuswonigen' buildings built in Helmond
in the mid-1970s and in Rotterdam
in the early 1980s. He studied at the Amsterdam Academy of Building-Arts as a
student of Aldo van Eyck. (from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet_Blom)
